    7 Reasons I Didn't Go to AA (And What I Got Wrong) with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor

    What if everything you thought you knew about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was wrong? In this episode of the No More Wasted Days Podcast, I'm joined by author and fellow sober podcaster Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, host of Drunk-ish, to talk about the seven reasons I chose NOT to go to AA when I quit drinking. From the fear of identifying as an alcoholic to the 12 steps, religion, powerlessness, and the commitment of attending meetings, Stefanie shares her firsthand experience with a 12-step program and challenges some of my biggest misconceptions. We also get into the importance of sober community, why asking for help can be so difficult, and how there is no one-size-fits-all approach to quitting drinking. Whether you're curious about AA, considering a 12-step program, or looking for alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous, this honest and hilarious conversation is a reminder that you don't have to get sober the same way someone else did. You just have to find what works for you.

    She Quit Adderall, Stopped Drinking, and Finally Made Weight Loss Stick

    What happens when you triumph over an Adderall addiction, stop drinking alcohol and eventually take on a 60 lb. weight loss journey that finally sticks? In this episode of the No More Wasted Days Podcast, I'm joined by Ashley Beeman, fitness coach and host of The Fit Freedom Podcast, to talk about her journey from Adderall addiction and struggles with body image to a 365-day alcohol-free experiment that completely changed her perspective on drinking. Ashley shares why she decided to quit drinking even though she didn't consider herself to have a drinking problem, what she discovered about living alcohol-free, and how she broke free from the cycle of restrictive dieting and starting over. We also dive into the power of identity shifts, creating sustainable healthy habits, and moving from discipline to devotion. Whether you're sober curious, taking a break from alcohol, or ready to make bigger changes in your life, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to change everything overnight to transform your life.
